He thought that by choosing Olivia Foster to dance the opening waltz with him, he had completely concealed the matter, leaving only a fog of confusion for his mother.

But who would have known that despite his efforts, the secret still managed to leak out.

The identity of the person who spread the news didn’t matter; what was important was that he needed to find a way to shift the gossip and rumors that clung to Ruby Gregory onto someone else.

The reason he chose Olivia to dance the opening waltz was to avoid implicating innocent bystanders. But just moments ago, that woman had taken the lead in slandering Ruby…

He wouldn’t allow anyone to spread rumors and cause trouble behind her back, even if the gossip had nothing to do with him, especially when it hurt Ruby’s reputation!

A woman’s most precious asset in her life is her reputation. It’s true that something had happened between Ruby and him on the viewing platform, but it was his momentary loss of control that caused the mistake, not her fault.

However, people often don’t care what the truth is; they only take advantage of the weaker party.

But hurting Ruby was clearly hurting Steve Burton.

Men have their pride, especially Steve. He couldn’t tolerate even the slightest touch to his dignity.

And now, someone had the audacity to spread malicious words and rumors about Ruby so openly – it was unbearable!

Since the person spreading rumors had already hit rock bottom, Steve was determined to outdo them in their game of utter shamelessness!

As Steve thought this, a hint of mockery appeared in the depth of his eyes.

When Steve returned to the banquet hall, his gaze swept over the crowd and eventually fell upon the woman he had encountered in the restroom, who had slandered Ruby.

There weren’t many women Steve could remember, and after thinking carefully, he still couldn’t determine who she was. Finally, he nonchalantly wandered over to Rusell Henris.

Seeing Steve approaching, Rusell handed him a glass of alcohol. Steve took it and shook the glass lightly a couple of times, his attention seemingly elsewhere. He lifted a finger, pointed to the rumor-mongering woman, and asked, “I find that lady somewhat familiar, what’s her name?”

Rusell was very familiar with the ladies of the capital city. Following Steve’s finger, he only glanced once and replied fluently, “She’s the daughter of the chairman of Babylon Corporation, Charlotte Madris.”

Babylon Corporation?

Upon hearing Rusell’s words, information about Babylon Corporation quickly flashed through Steve’s brain.

It wasn’t a big enterprise, but its performance was quite decent. In recent years, it had been working closely with the Fosters.

Rusell took a leisurely sip of his drink and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about her?”
